Michael Stefaun's new Pro Deck from Pool Kings is bringing the bling!  Look at that thing!  Click it to visit the site.

Stefaun's roots are in street skating. Therefore, it's only natural that his pool shape closely resembles the traditional, double-end, twin tip shape that so many street decks incorporate. Michael's Pool King deck is constructed using polymer composites and 5 plys of hard rock maple veneers. Pool Kings claim these are 8 ounces lighter than standard 7 ply wood decks of the same size and shape and retain their "pop" for a longer time as well.

I think this is a wonderful board, I was between this and a Caften and since my friend has the Evo which is so similar to the Caften I wanted to go something different, and I got the white one that Mark dug out of storage, it is pretty sexy in white, I had to go for it.

I love it, and would absolutely recomend it.
Longboard Review
How long have you ridden the board: About 8 months
What is your setup like?: Flipped R2s, 77mm 79a Speed Vents, Pleasure Tool Abec 7 bearings.
Typical Session Discipline: Downhill/some cruising
How much did you pay?: I don't remember exactly, the whole setup together probably cost around like 250 or more.
Where did you purchase it?: Mile High Skates, already had the trucks and bearings
What were the strengths of the deck.: Great concave, nice width, very stable, this is my first downhill board so I don't have much to compare it to, but I used to do hills on my vanguard, and this is ten times for what I do with it.
What were the weaknesses?: Seeing as how it is still set up with R2s (hopefully putting grizzlies on soon) I do get wobbles every so often, but hopefully that will go away with a more stable downhill truck.
Similar decks you have ridden?: My friends Evo
Would you recommend it?: Yes

This is such a good mini, next to the humu, it is probably my favorite, and for it's price it is a steal!
Longboard Review
How long have you ridden the board: Probably about a month
What is your setup like?: The way it comes, getting 66mm zigs for it soon.
Typical Session Discipline: Cruising
How much did you pay?: $115, because of tax
Where did you purchase it?: Malibus Surf Shop
What were the strengths of the deck.: Very very tight turning radius because of it's size and the size of the trucks
What were the weaknesses?: Feels like it isn't the strongest board when you ride it, but I ride with my feet over the trucks, but when they are in the middle it flexs a lot, I also weigh around 160 pounds.
Similar decks you have ridden?: None
Would you recommend it?: Yes
